Let $M$ be a 1-connected closed manifold of dimension $m$ and $LM$ be the space of free loops on $M$. M.Chas and D.Sullivan defined a structure of BV-algebra on the singular homology of $LM$, $H_{*}(LM;k)$. When the ring of coefficients is a field of characteristic zero, we prove that there exists a BV-algebra structure on the Hochschild cohomology $H{H}^{*}(C^{*}\left(M\right);C^{*}\left(M\right))$ which extends the canonical structure of Gerstenhaber algebra. We construct then an isomorphism of BV-algebras between $H{H}^{*}(C^{*}\left(M\right);C^{*}\left(M\right))$ and the shifted homology $H_{*+m}(LM;k)$. We also prove...

Let $M$ be any compact simply-connected oriented $d$-dimensional smooth manifold and let $𝔽$ be any field. We show that the Gerstenhaber algebra structure on the Hochschild cohomology on the singular cochains of $M$, $H{H}^{*}(S^{*}\left(M\right),S^{*}\left(M\right))$, extends to a Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra. Such Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra was conjectured to exist and is expected to be isomorphic to the Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra on the free loop space homology on $M$, $H_{*+d}\left(LM\right)$ introduced by Chas and Sullivan. We also show that the negative cyclic...

Suppose that A and B are unital Banach algebras with units $1_A$ and $1_B$, respectively, M is a unital Banach A,B-module, $=\left[\begin{array}{cc}A& M\\ 0& B\end{array}\right]$ is the triangular Banach algebra, X is a unital -bimodule, $X_{AA}=1_{A}X{1}_A$, $X_{BB}=1_{B}X{1}_B$, $X_{AB}=1_{A}X{1}_B$ and $X_{BA}=1_{B}X{1}_A$. Applying two nice long exact sequences related to A, B, , X, $X_{AA}$, $X_{BB}$, $X_{AB}$ and $X_{BA}$ we establish some results on (co)homology of triangular Banach algebras.

For a prime $p\ge 5$, we compute the algebraic $K$-theory modulo $p$ and $v_1$ of the mod $p$ Adams summand, using topological cyclic homology. On the way, we evaluate its modulo $p$ and $v_1$ topological Hochschild homology. Using a localization sequence, we also compute the $K$-theory modulo $p$ and $v_1$ of the first Morava $K$-theory.

We classify the indecomposable injective E(n)⁎E(n)-comodules, where E(n) is the Johnson-Wilson homology theory. They are suspensions of the $J_{n,r}=E\left(n\right)⁎\left(M_{r}E\left(r\right)\right)$, where 0 ≤ r ≤ n, with the endomorphism ring of $J_{n,r}$ being $\widehat{E\left(r\right)}*\widehat{E\left(r\right)}$, where $\widehat{E\left(r\right)}$ denotes the completion of E(r).

The first two authors have recently defined Rabinowitz Floer homology groups $RF{H}_{*}(M,W)$ associated to a separating exact embedding of a contact manifold $(M,\xi )$ into a symplectic manifold $(W,\omega )$. These depend only on the bounded component $V$ of $W\setminus M$. We construct a long exact sequence in which symplectic cohomology of $V$ maps to symplectic homology of $V$, which in turn maps to Rabinowitz Floer homology $RF{H}_{*}(M,W)$, which then maps to symplectic cohomology of $V$. We compute $RF{H}_{*}(S{T}^{*}L,T^{*}L)$, where $S{T}^{*}L$ is the unit cosphere bundle of a closed...

Given a smooth proper dg algebra $A$, a perfect dg $A$-module $M$ and an endomorphism $f$ of $M$, we define the Hochschild class of the pair $(M,f)$ with values in the Hochschild homology of the algebra $A$. Our main result is a Riemann-Roch type formula involving the convolution of two such Hochschild classes.

Little is known about the global topology of the Fatou set U(f) for holomorphic endomorphisms $f:ℂ{\mathbb{P}}^k\to ℂ{\mathbb{P}}^k$, when k >1. Classical theory describes U(f) as the complement in $ℂ{\mathbb{P}}^k$ of the support of a dynamically defined closed positive (1,1) current. Given any closed positive (1,1) current S on $ℂ{\mathbb{P}}^k$, we give a definition of linking number between closed loops in $ℂ{\mathbb{P}}^k\setminus suppS$ and the current S. It has the property that if lk(γ,S) ≠ 0, then γ represents a non-trivial homology element in $H₁\left(ℂ{\mathbb{P}}^k\setminus suppS\right)$. As an application, we use...

We study the Taylor towers of the nth symmetric and exterior power functors, Spⁿ and Λⁿ. We obtain a description of the layers of the Taylor towers, $D_{k}Spⁿ$ and $D_k\Lambda ⁿ$, in terms of the first terms in the Taylor towers of $S{p}^t$ and ${\Lambda }^t$ for t < n. The homology of these first terms is related to the stable derived functors (in the sense of Dold and Puppe) of $S{p}^t$ and ${\Lambda }^t$. We use stable derived functor calculations of Dold and Puppe to determine the lowest nontrivial homology groups for $D_{k}Spⁿ$ and $D_k\Lambda ⁿ$.

We develop a new approach of extension calculus in the category of strict polynomial functors, based on Troesch complexes. We obtain new short elementary proofs of numerous classical $\mathrm{Ext}$-computations as well as new results. In particular, we get a cohomological version of the “fundamental theorems” from classical invariant theory for $G{L}_n$ for $n$ big enough (and we give a conjecture for smaller values of $n$). We also study the “twisting spectral sequence” $E^{s,t}(F,G,r)$ converging to the extension groups...

Let $(R,𝔪)$ be a local ring, $𝔞$ an ideal of $R$ and $M$ a nonzero Artinian $R$-module of Noetherian dimension $n$ with $\mathrm{hd}(𝔞,M)=n$. We determine the annihilator of the top local homology module ${\mathrm{H}}_n^{𝔞}\left(M\right)$. In fact, we prove that $${\mathrm{Ann}}_R\left({\mathrm{H}}_n^{𝔞}\left(M\right)\right)={\mathrm{Ann}}_R\left(N(𝔞,M)\right),$$ where $N(𝔞,M)$ denotes the smallest submodule of $M$ such that $\mathrm{hd}(𝔞,M/N(𝔞,M\left)\right)<n$. As a consequence, it follows that for a complete local ring $(R,𝔪)$ all associated primes of ${\mathrm{H}}_n^{𝔞}\left(M\right)$ are minimal.

The relative cohomology ${\mathrm{H}}_{\mathrm{diff}}^1(𝕂\left(1\right|3),\mathrm{𝔬𝔰𝔭}(2,3);{𝒟}_{\lambda ,\mu }\left(S^{1|3}\right))$ of the contact Lie superalgebra $𝕂\left(1\right|3)$ with coefficients in the space of differential operators ${𝒟}_{\lambda ,\mu }\left(S^{1|3}\right)$ acting on tensor densities on $S^{1|3}$, is calculated in N. Ben Fraj, I. Laraied, S. Omri (2013) and the generating $1$-cocycles are expressed in terms of the infinitesimal super-Schwarzian derivative $1$-cocycle $s\left(X_f\right)=D_1{D}_2{D}_3\left(f\right){\alpha }_3^{1/2}$, $X_f\in 𝕂\left(1\right|3)$ which is invariant with respect to the conformal subsuperalgebra $\mathrm{𝔬𝔰𝔭}(2,3)$ of $𝕂\left(1\right|3)$. In this work we study the supergroup case. We give an explicit construction of $1$-cocycles...

We introduce two entire functions $f_{{\mathrm{A}}_{\frac{1}{2}\infty }}$ and $f_{{\mathrm{D}}_{\frac{1}{2}\infty }}$ in two variables. Both of them have only two critical values $0$ and $1$, and the associated maps ${\mathbf{C}}^2\to \mathbf{C}$ define topologically locally trivial fibrations over $\mathbf{C}\setminus \{0,1\}$. All critical points in the singular fibers over $0$ and $1$ are ordinary double points, and the associated vanishing cycles span the middle homology group of the general fiber, whose intersection diagram forms bi-partitely decomposed infinite quivers of type ${\mathrm{A}}_{\frac{1}{2}\infty }$ and ${\mathrm{D}}_{\frac{1}{2}\infty }$, respectively. Coxeter elements...

Given an origami (square-tiled surface) $M$ with automorphism group $\Gamma$, we compute the decomposition of the first homology group of $M$ into isotypic $\Gamma$-submodules. Through the action of the affine group of $M$ on the homology group, we deduce some consequences for the multiplicities of the Lyapunov exponents of the Kontsevich-Zorich cocycle. We also construct and study several families of interesting origamis illustrating our results.

We use known results on the characteristic rank of the canonical $4$–plane bundle over the oriented Grassmann manifold ${\tilde{G}}_{n,4}$ to compute the generators of the ${\mathbb{Z}}_2$–cohomology groups $H^j\left({\tilde{G}}_{n,4}\right)$ for $n=8,9,10,11$. Drawing from the similarities of these examples with the general description of the cohomology rings of ${\tilde{G}}_{n,3}$ we conjecture some predictions.

Let $\Sigma$ be a compact connected oriented surface with one boundary component, and let $\pi$ be the fundamental group of $\Sigma$. The Johnson filtration is a decreasing sequence of subgroups of the Torelli group of $\Sigma$, whose $k$-th term consists of the self-homeomorphisms of $\Sigma$ that act trivially at the level of the $k$-th nilpotent quotient of $\pi$. Morita defined a homomorphism from the $k$-th term of the Johnson filtration to the third homology group of the $k$-th nilpotent quotient of $\pi$. In this paper, we...

The moduli space of rank-$n$ commutative algebras equipped with an ordered basis is an affine scheme ${𝔅}_n$ of finite type over $\mathbb{Z}$, with geometrically connected fibers. It is smooth if and only if $n\le 3$. It is reducible if $n\ge 8$ (and the converse holds, at least if we remove the fibers above $2$ and $3$). The relative dimension of ${𝔅}_n$ is $\frac{2}{27}{n}^3+O\left(n^{8/3}\right)$. The subscheme parameterizing étale algebras is isomorphic to ${GL}_n/S_n$, which is of dimension only $n^2$. For $n\ge 8$, there exist algebras that are not limits of étale algebras. The dimension...

Let $(R,𝔪)$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring, $𝔞$ be an ideal of $R$ and $M$ a finitely generated $R$-module such that $𝔞M\ne M$ and $\mathrm{cd}(𝔞,M)-\mathrm{grade}(𝔞,M)\le 1$, where $\mathrm{cd}(𝔞,M)$ is the cohomological dimension of $M$ with respect to $𝔞$ and $\mathrm{grade}(𝔞,M)$ is the $M$-grade of $𝔞$. Let $D(-):={\mathrm{Hom}}_R(-,E)$ be the Matlis dual functor, where $E:=E(R/𝔪)$ is the injective hull of the residue field $R/𝔪$. We show that there exists the following long exact sequence $$\begin{array}{cc}\hfill 0⟶& H_{𝔞}^{n-2}\left(D\left(H_{𝔞}^{n-1}\left(M\right)\right)\right)⟶H_{𝔞}^n\left(D\left(H_{𝔞}^n\left(M\right)\right)\right)⟶D\left(M\right)\\ \hfill ⟶& H_{𝔞}^{n-1}\left(D\left(H_{𝔞}^{n-1}\left(M\right)\right)\right)⟶H_{𝔞}^{n+1}\left(D\left(H_{𝔞}^n\left(M\right)\right)\right)\\ \hfill ⟶& H_{𝔞}^n\left(D\left(H_{(x_1,...,x_{n-1})}^{n-1}\left(M\right)\right)\right)⟶H_{𝔞}^n\left(D\left(H_{(}^{n-1}M\right)\right))⟶...,\end{array}$$ where $n:=\mathrm{cd}(𝔞,M)$ is a non-negative integer, $x_1,...,x_{n-1}$ is a regular sequence in $𝔞$ on $M$ and, for an $R$-module $L$, $H_{𝔞}^i\left(L\right)$ is the $i$th local cohomology module...
